No team in the NFL during the 21st century has surpassed the New Orleans Saints 62-point performance in 2011 over the Indianapolis Colts. Until this Sunday, that is.
The coach for the Saints back in 2011 for that performance? Sean Payton. And he now finds himself once again a part of the highest single-game point performance by a team this century...only he’s now on the other side.
The Miami Dolphins became the third team in NFL history to score 70 points in a single game, and it came by way of the hapless, Vance Joseph-led Denver Broncos defense Sunday afternoon.
